12:06like
12:26i'm
12:27i'm
12:35Oh, my God!
12:37Oh, my God!
12:45Oh, my God!
12:47Oh, my God!
12:48Is that Lady Hastings?
12:50Heavens.
12:50Simply scandalous.
12:53I truly feel for Lord Hastings.
12:55He is such an upright man,
12:57yet he's been subjected to such terrible humiliation.
13:00And Sebastian, he will also feel ashamed of his mother.
13:04Jane, didn't you love having people watch you in bed?
13:08You must have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
13:17Get a divorce.
13:20William, let me explain.
13:22No need.
13:23You have trampled on my dignity.
13:25Don't insult my intelligence.
13:27We must divorce.
13:33If you want a divorce, fine.
13:35I will take my dowie with me.
13:37I signed an agreement with you back then.
13:39You could use my money to run your estate.
13:41But if we ever divorce, I can take all of my money back.
13:44You'd better think about it.
13:45What does Hastings have left now besides an Earl title in this old house?
13:49Without me, you can't even keep this house.
13:53Still want a divorce?
13:58I know everything about your fling with that Polish widow.
14:01Let's call it quits.
14:07Do you think he knows about this?
14:10Probably not.
14:11It's too embarrassing.
14:12If it were me, I wouldn't even step out of the house.
14:14Not necessarily.
14:15After all, the Earl isn't his real father either.
14:18He should be used to it by now.
14:19Used to having multiple fathers?
14:21Little Hastings searching for his daddies?
14:23Who are you talking about?
14:25May I ask, what were you just talking about?
14:27So you really don't know.
14:29That wantal mother of yours is famous all over England now.
14:33What is that supposed to mean?
14:34Last week, at least dozens of guests saw your mother screwing a Yankee in your home with their own eyes.
14:40Say that again.
14:41I said, your mother is a...
15:06You haven't been home in a long time.
15:08You should have told me in advance so I could have them prepare.
15:12This is mother's home, not mine.
15:16You shouldn't say that, Sebastian.
15:20In the future, everything of mother's will be yours, including this home.
15:25Thank you, but you know this is not what I want.
15:30So what do you want?
15:32I want a normal person's life.
15:35What on earth do you mean by that?
15:37Wherever I go these days, people whisper and point behind my back, gossiping about my mother's affairs.
15:47How I wish that when others talk about you, I could reprimand them with a clear conscience.
15:55But I cannot.
15:59Because I know my mother better than anyone.
16:03Are you accusing your mother?
16:05If I hadn't secured a decent life for you, you would still be selling sweet potatoes on New York's Lower
16:11East Street.
16:11Where I was born was not my choice.
16:14At least I can choose where I die in the future.
16:16Really?
16:17If I had a choice back then, I wouldn't have given birth to you.
16:20Anyone can accuse me, but you can't!
16:23If I am truly that important, please consider me before you indulge yourself in the future.
16:29So, this is where your weakness lies.
16:41It's you.
16:43Jane's son is actually him.
16:46Evelyn!
16:48Why are you still standing there instead of cleaning this up immediately?
17:07Young master, they guessed me to bring you some warm milk.
17:10Young master, this is the warm milk the kitchen asked me to bring to you.
17:15Thank you, but I do not have the habit of eating at night.
17:19Then, perhaps I could keep you company for a chat.
17:23Or do something else.
17:26What is your name?
17:28Violet. My name is Violet.
17:29Young master. Young master, I was already here when you returned last year.
17:32Violet, go back to your room. Do not do this again in the future.
17:35Young master, I...
17:36Please leave.
17:39Could you please not tell anyone?
17:41Especially the mistress.
17:43I won't tell anyone.
17:50You saw everything?
17:51Yes, young master.
17:53I won't say a word.
17:55Your name is Evelyn?
17:56Yes, young master. Do you have any orders for me?
17:59No, nothing.
18:08Violet.
18:11Madam.
18:13What were you doing in the young master's room last night?
18:17Madam, I was only delivering milk.
18:22Dressed like a slut, and you were only delivering milk.
18:26Do you take me for a fool?
18:28How did she find out?
18:31Madam, my, please don't throw me out!
18:33My father will beat me to death!
18:35Then let him beat you to death.
18:37Foolish, wishful-thinking idiot.
18:41You saw all that?
18:42Good.
18:43I hope you take it as a warning.
18:45Yes, madam.
18:51I thought there would be some mutual understanding between people with similar fates.
18:55I know what you're suspecting, but I wasn't the informant.
18:59But only you saw it last night.
19:00If it wasn't you, and it wasn't me, did she tell on herself?
19:05Master, I am not a detective.
19:07If you have suspicions, you should investigate them yourself.
19:11If you have no further orders, you should let me go.
19:15I don't want Madam to misunderstand me.
19:17Misunderstand you about what?
19:19Misunderstand that I am seducing you.
19:31That bitch, trying to cut ties with me now that she's made it big?
19:35No way in hell.
19:41What should I do?
19:45I don't dare go home.
19:55Don't be scared.
19:56Your dad is useless, so I'll be your daddy.
19:59I won't beat you.
20:01No, no.
20:03Please, help.
20:05Save me.
20:07Motherfuck.
20:18You bitch.
20:20How dare you hit me?
20:30You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:40Let go of my sister!
20:49Let go of my sister!
20:50Let go of my sister!
21:04Evelyn.
21:12Don't be afraid, Evelyn.
21:14It's all right now.
21:19Evelyn.
21:20Evelyn.
21:22Not dead.
21:24Good.
21:25Dying would be too easy on you.
21:31That man, has he been sent away?
21:35The police will handle it.
21:36You don't need to worry.
21:38I knew it.
21:39You still care about your mother.
21:41You are my son, after all.
21:43You've lived in England for so long, yet you still keep your American humor.
21:48Of course I didn't do it for you.
21:53Where are you going?
21:54Back to my unit.
22:01He hates me.
22:03Perhaps you're overthinking it.
22:05A telegram just arrived.
22:06The Eighth Army is heading to North Africa.
22:10Good God.
22:12The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa.
22:15General Montgomery.
22:16Tax of traffic is manned with a corporate in the public area.
22:19They shall be aware.
22:25I wonder how things are at the front.
22:28Madam is so worried she can't even eat.
22:30Yes, and not just Madam.
22:32Many young men from the town have gone to the front.
22:34Everyone is worried sick right now.
22:35Luckily, I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the front.
22:38You know, the opponent is Roman.
22:45I'm going to pray.
22:46Are you coming?
22:47Of course.
22:48I'll join you.
22:49I'll head back first.
22:50I still have a lot of work to do.
23:06You must come back alive.
23:13Breaking news.
23:14The Eighth Army has achieved a decisive victory at El Al Marar.
23:18My son is all right.
23:20Roman Caswise forces from each of the...
23:21Congratulations, Madam.
23:36Oh, my son.
23:37You're finally back.
23:39All right.
23:39Let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:42Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising.
23:45The hero of El Al Mahdi.
23:48Let you bastards try and mock me now.
23:58You're the star of the show tonight.
23:59Don't just drink a lullo and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone.
24:03Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades being blown to pieces.
24:24Shouldn't you be at the victory banquet?
24:26Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:29Is there a name you recognize on here?
24:32Their names aren't on here, but their souls must be.
24:36I received a letter a couple of days ago.
24:38Two friends I knew from the orphanage.
24:40Both lost their lives in North Africa.
24:44Are you all right?
24:46We won.
24:47How could I not be all right?
24:49You slipped away from the banquet just because you didn't want to pretend, didn't you?
24:52I'll leave you to it.
24:53I should head back.
24:56If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen.
25:19Master, do you have any orders?
25:21Don't call me Master anymore.
25:23Then what should I call you?
25:24Just call me Seb.
25:26Madam won't be pleased if she finds out.
25:29Would it make you happy to call me that?
25:35Then it would make me happy to.
25:37Then I'll call you that in secret.
25:39Let it be our secret, Seb.
25:43The town hospital is recruiting volunteers to accompany Wounded Soul.
25:46That is, just to talk with them.
25:47Would you like to go?
25:48I would, but...
25:49I'll speak to the butler for you.
25:51You don't have to worry.
26:05You know, in the desert at night, the stars are incredibly bright.
26:09Though I've never seen it, I can imagine.
26:11But they are so bright, it's terrifying.
26:13Because you don't know if you'll still be alive to see the memorial.
26:16It's all over now.
26:22She seems to possess a power, a power to catch those who are falling.
26:27Mr. Hastings, the volunteer you sent last week.
26:29Miss Evelyn, she's absolutely wonderful.
26:31All the soldiers love her.
26:33I'm glad we could help.
26:34She's so young, yet she has such patience.
26:37Some people come and want to leave after five minutes, but she can sit there all afternoon.
26:42That amputeeve soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here.
26:45But once she arrived, he actually started talking.
26:51How was today?
26:52One soldier said he was knocked unconscious on the battlefield and had a beautiful dream about his hometown's wheat fields
26:57and his cows.
26:59When he woke up, he found his leg was gone.
27:02I'm sorry to make you listen to these things every day.
27:04The suffering needs to be heard.
27:08Do you need someone to listen to you, too?
27:11It's alright if you don't.
27:12Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to listen.
27:26Don't leave me.
27:27I hate the orphanage.
27:34What is happening to me?
27:44Madam, what are your orders?
27:45What has the young master been doing these past few days?
27:48The young master?
27:49Nothing out of the ordinary.
27:50That's devilish strange.
27:52Have you ever known him to stay here for more than three days in the past?
27:55It's been weeks now, and he's in no hurry to return to London.
27:58Don't you find that unusual?
27:59You've been at Hastings for over ten years, haven't you?
28:01I've always trusted you because you never keep secrets from me.
28:04Is that still true?
28:05Madam, the young master has been going to the town hospital quite often these past few weeks.
28:10What is he doing at the hospital?
28:12He recommended Evelyn to the town hospital to work as an aide for the wounded.
28:17He did suddenly ask me to borrow a maid for charity work last time, and I didn't think much of
28:20it.
28:21No wonder I haven't seen that little girl around lately.
28:23Are you saying he's been fooling around with that little girl at the hospital every day?
28:28Madam, I never said such a thing.
28:38Madam!
28:39Madam!
28:45What are you doing here?
28:47Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:48A volunteer?
28:50A volunteer?
28:50You're a lowly maid.
28:52What business do you have volunteering?
28:55Madam, please conduct yourself with dignity.
28:59You dare lecture me?
29:03You old whore.
29:04Do you want to hit me again?
29:05You little bitch!
29:07How dare you insult me?
29:08Madam, you're getting old.
29:09You've grown so very slow.
29:20It was this little bitch.
29:22Enough!
29:27From this moment on, don't let me ever see you hit or abuse anyone again.
29:32Otherwise, I will hate you as I hate an enemy.
29:34Mother.
29:40I apologize on behalf of my mother.
29:42I'm sorry.
29:43You don't need to apologize, Seb.
29:45If you hadn't come to save me, I should be thanking you.
29:49If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have hit you.
29:51My mother is a terrible person.
29:53Will you distance yourself from me, Seb?
29:55For fear of putting me in danger?
29:57I won't.
29:59Because meeting you is the only good thing that has ever happened in my life.
30:10Come away with me.
30:14Go?
30:16Where?
30:17Anywhere.
30:18London, Scotland, France.
30:20As long as you're willing, we can leave this place.
30:22But why leave?
30:22I don't know what other crazy things she might do.
30:25Seb, I can't.
30:27Why?
30:28This doesn't align with my ideals.
30:32What are your ideals?
30:35To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
30:37Not a mistress eloping with a man.
30:45I really didn't expect you'd dare to come back.
30:49This is where I work.
30:50Of course I would return.
30:52You think you can still stay here?
30:54Pack your things and get out.
30:57Right now.
30:57That works too.
30:59Then I can live happily ever after with your son.
31:03You little slut!
31:05You shouldn't insult me anymore.
31:07I'm very good at whispering in his ear, you know?
31:16You think you've won, you little bitch?
31:20It's far from over.
31:32What wind blew you here?
31:34Shouldn't you be upstairs entertaining our distinguished guest from before at this hour?
31:42You know very well I hate socialising, yet you still tease me.
31:47Well, what can we do?
31:49The most charming lady of the social season has graced us with her presence.
31:53If you're not there, won't your heroic charms go to waste?
31:58Jealous.
32:05My mother invited her.
32:07It's obvious what they're up to.
32:09That's why I suddenly have urgent military business and must go to London.
32:15Poor you.
32:16Come with me.
32:17It'll save you from staying here and dealing with their spine.
32:20Seb, I'm not a child.
32:22I have to face many things on my own.
32:24And have you forgotten I almost killed a piece of trash once?
32:27Wait for me to return.
32:31Your household is quite unique.
32:34Even maids are allowed to serve in the dining room now.
32:37As you know, it's hard enough to find three able-hearted young men in an entire estate these days.
32:43Quite true.
32:46Evelyn, pour some wine for Miss Ashworth.
32:52I heard from my father that even the Queen praised Sebastian's bravery.
32:56Are you serious?
32:58Oh my goodness!
33:00When will he ever cure himself of this dreadful habit of being overly modest?
33:05You shouldn't say that.
33:07Nowadays, old-fashioned gentlemen like Sebastian are rarer than a rhino's hair.
33:11I'd rather be knocked unconscious right now than listen to the two of them carry on with this chapraide.
33:24Madam, what kind of lady do you think would be a suitable match for your son?
33:29Don't you already know the answer to that?
33:44By the way, Margaret, I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:49Seb will surely be back.
33:51Seb will surely be back by then.
33:52We must celebrate your birthday.
33:55A ball, hunting, a live band.
33:58I know those are all things you love and excel at.
34:00Madam, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?
34:03Of course not.
34:05Seb loves hunting, too.
34:08I'll have him accompany you then.
34:14You seem quite interested in her.
34:19I just feel that she doesn't seem like an ordinary maid.
34:22Oh?
34:23I'm a very good judge of character.
34:27Madam, I'm willing to bet that this maid of yours has quite a background.
34:31Is that so?
34:33Then I really ought to look into this little slut's background.
34:44Mother, it's too hard.
34:46I don't want to learn.
34:48Darling, don't you want to be a lady?
34:51No.
34:52Sister can be the lady.
34:54I want to be a female knight.
34:58Leave the hard things to me.
35:00Little Mary should just do what she loves.
35:03I want all the right horses.
35:05I want to learn to hunt.
35:06Father, where is the pony you promised to buy me?
35:11Father won't forget.
35:13On your birthday, I'll give you the pony and teach you how to hunt.
35:17Father is the best.
35:20Don't cry, Evelyn.
35:21Do not cry until you see blood-red tears streaming from your enemy's eyes.
35:32Are you sure you want to host this birthday banquet?
35:35Margaret isn't even family.
35:37Why go to all this trouble?
35:38Precisely because she isn't.
35:40We must.
35:41Earl Asherington carries great weight in London's social circles.
35:45And if this marriage happens, your estate, your status, and Seb's future...
35:50Don't be too idealistic.
35:52Your son hasn't even agreed yet.
35:54I know my son better than you do.
35:57He values face and reputation far more than either of us.
36:02Face and reputation.
36:08Stop daydreaming.
36:09This is the time for us to stand united.
36:12On the day of the banquet, you take care of welcoming the guests.
36:15Leave the rest to me.
36:18Do as you please.
36:23You're back.
36:24Is your business in London finished?
36:27Why the urgency to call me back?
36:29Is something wrong?
36:33Margaret's birthday is coming up.
36:35I want to host a birthday banquet for her here at the castle.
36:39Doesn't she have her own home?
36:40She is our guest and your friend.
36:43We can't just neglect her.
36:44She is not my friend.
36:46We are barely even acquaintances.
36:48Be that as it may, she is staying here.
36:50If we don't even host a dinner for her birthday, what would people say?
36:54You must think of the Hastings family's reputation.
36:58Do as you wish.
36:59If there's nothing else, I'm going back to London.
37:01You must attend!
37:05On what grounds?
37:07I know you dislike socializing, but you are the young master of the Hastings family.
37:12If you don't show up on such an occasion, what will others think?
37:17I couldn't care less.
37:19How about this?
37:20You can bring Evelyn with you.
37:23I know you care about that girl.
37:24But if you want her to be your companion, you should also let her see the world.
37:30Very well.
37:41Young master, there is a call for you.
37:47Sebastian speaking.
37:48Hello, this is the detective agency.
37:50We have the results of the investigation you requested.
37:56Is something on your mind, my melancholy prince?
37:59I remember you saying you grew up in an orphanage.
38:02Yes.
38:04Actually, in a sense, I'm just like you.
38:06You are an orphan with no parents.
38:08And I...
38:10am an orphan with a mother.
38:13Has something happened?
38:14I'm sorry.
38:16Why are you apologizing?
38:18My mother wants to host a birthday banquet for Margaret
38:21and ask me to bring you along.
38:23I took it upon myself to agree on your behalf.
38:27Sure, I'd love to go with you.
38:45Do I look good?
38:46Without a doubt.
38:49Let's go.
38:56Our hero has arrived.
39:00Evelyn, you look stunning tonight.
39:02Thank you, madam.
39:12Distinguished guests, thank you all for joining us tonight
39:15to celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday.
39:18On this beautiful occasion, I would like to make an announcement.
39:22The Hastings and Ashworth families will soon be united in marriage.
39:26My son, Sebastian, will be betrothed to Miss Margaret.
39:33Congratulations!
39:34Miss Margaret, congratulations.
39:35Young Master Hastings is the hero of Ella Lumbly.
39:38Lord Hastings, congratulations.
39:40I was wondering why Sebastian brought a maid along.
39:43I know, right?
39:44Dressed more decently than the young lady herself.
39:46What an embarrassment.
39:49I do not agree to this marriage.
39:52Miss Ashfield, my mother's decision does not represent my own.
39:56If she insists on uniting our family, then the only way is for my stepfather, Lord Hastings,
40:01to divorce her and marry into your family himself.
40:10Miss Evelyn, there is something I must say to you.
40:14What words?
40:15I love you, Evelyn.
40:17No matter what, I love you.
40:22Are these tears?
40:24To think I still have such things.
40:29Sebastian!
40:29Do you have any idea what you are doing?
40:38Do you have anything you want to say to me?
40:42Seb, what you said just now,
40:44was it real?
40:46Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:49It is real.
40:57I actually...
40:58I'm really not that good.
41:01That doesn't sound like something you would say.
41:04What if you discover that I'm actually a very bad person?
41:09Aren't you?
41:10In my eyes, you have always been a little troublemaker.
41:17I told you my feelings not to burden you,
41:20but to let you know that in this world,
41:21you are no longer alone.
41:33He is wonderful,
41:35but not nearly enough to make me let go of my hatred.
41:45Stop right there.
41:46Stop right there.
41:53Did you sleep well last night?
41:56Of course, madam.
41:57Madam, that's why I actually admire you.
42:04If I were you,
42:06living under your enemy's roof,
42:08I would sleep with one eye open, wouldn't you?
42:11You might as well speak plainly, madam.
42:13Mary Elizabeth Thornton.
42:15Born in 1921, New York.
42:18Father David Thornton,
42:20wealthy Manhattan businessman.
42:22Mother Catherine Thornton.
42:23Sister Sophia Thornton.
42:25When little Mary was eight,
42:26her governess and her gangster boyfriend
42:28collided to squeal the Thorntons out of everything.
42:31David Thornton was beaten to death by lone harks.
42:34Sophia Thornton was violated to death.
42:36Catherine Thornton slit her wrists.
42:38Little Mary was sent to an orphanage.
42:44Does this story sound familiar to you, little Mary?
42:47Doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news?
42:52Reading these letters,
42:53even I felt like shedding a tear or two
42:55for poor little Mary.
42:57So, you came here for revenge from the very first day.
43:01Am I right?
43:02I really didn't recognize that little bastard
43:04who cowered on her tiny bed,
43:06watching me sleep with her father
43:08without daring to utter a single sound,
43:10had grown up to be so big.
43:13You knew I was awake.
43:15I figured you did.
43:16Yes, I knew.
43:18Your father took advantage of me
43:19and now my son takes advantage of you.
43:21Doesn't that make us even?
43:22How is that the same?
43:23No matter how wretched I am,
43:24I would never compare myself to an old whore.
43:26Go ahead, curse all you want.
43:29Compared to what I took from your family,
43:31being insulted by you means absolutely nothing to me.
43:33How tragic.
43:34Why does he have a mother like you?
43:36In all these years,
43:37has there been even a single moment
43:38when you felt a shred of guilt for what you did?
43:43Guilt?
43:44Oh, young lady,
43:45you are delightfully naive.
43:47It is a dog-eat-dog world.
43:49That old, horny dog of a father of yours
43:51deserved to pay for his lust.
43:52As for your sister,
43:54she brought it upon herself,
43:56dying in a swarm of men.
43:57Is that my fault?
43:59And your useless mother?
44:00A mother who cannot protect her own child
44:02doesn't deserve to live in this world anyway,
44:04does she?
44:05Look at me.
44:06I would do anything for my son.
44:08You are absolutely right.
44:11It is a dog-eat-dog world.
44:13I was too naive to ask a mad dog
44:15if she felt guilt.
44:18At this stage,
44:19there's no need for me to kick you out, is there?
44:21If I see you tomorrow,
44:22don't blame me for having you thrown out.
44:34My dearest Seb,
44:36since the day you left home,
44:37I have departed from the castle
44:39and checked into the Red Lion Inn in town.
44:41Next Tuesday is my birthday.
44:43If you could come,
44:44I would be overjoyed.
44:46Yours, Evelyn.
44:56It is a pleasure to serve you,
44:57my beautiful lady.
45:02Where are we going?
45:03You'll see when we get there.
45:14Look at that!
45:18What a gorgeous horse!
45:21Do you like it?
45:22I love it!
45:23This has been my birthday since I was a child.
45:26Come.
45:27Let me teach you how to ride.
45:34Don't be nervous.
45:35I'm right here.
45:39You know, Seb,
45:40ever since I was small,
45:41my dream was to be a knight.
45:45I know.
45:54It's so heavy.
45:57Align the sight here,
45:58steady your breathing,
46:00and then
46:00pull the trigger.
46:07I hit it!
46:08Sam, did you see that?
46:09I saw.
46:10My girl is the best.
46:18Just like that, my girl.
46:20Just like that.
46:21Aim and shoot.
46:21Do not hesitate for a second.
46:27To you,
46:29happy birthday.
46:31To you,
46:32thank you.
46:33I've had such a wonderful day today.
46:37The atmosphere here reminds me of the little pub where I first met you.
46:44Don't remind me.
46:45If I hadn't met you,
46:46I would have been in a terrible state.
46:48Thinking back now,
46:49I have to thank those two thugs.
46:52Are you drunk after just one sip?
46:54If it weren't for them,
46:55how would I have had the chance to play the hero and save the beauty?
46:59Seb,
47:00you got to know my birthday wish today.
47:01What about yours?
47:03Is there any wish you want to come true?
47:07When I was a boy,
47:08my wish was to have a father.
47:10Later,
47:10my mother,
47:12she gave me quite a few fathers.
47:14When I grew up a bit and joined the military,
47:16my wish was to distinguish myself.
47:18And then,
47:19the war broke out.
47:21Since then,
47:21I never dared to make any more birthday wishes.
47:24Until I met you.
47:26I began to wish that my own birthday would arrive a little sooner.
47:36What is it?
47:38It's nothing.
47:39Let's go.
47:47Seb.
47:52Don't you want to kiss me?
47:54You know I want to kiss you every single second.
47:56Then kiss me.
47:58I know what your wish is,
47:59and it is my wish today, too.
48:01Is this truly what you wish?
48:02Of course.
48:04Of course.
48:05Of course.
48:06Of course.
48:07Of course.
48:22I love you, Evelyn,
48:23no matter what.
48:25I love you.
48:47Help me!
48:48I've been raped!
49:00My lady,
49:02the young master,
49:03he has been taken away by the police.
49:07What did you say?
49:08They say it's rape.
49:09In Worcestershire.
49:10That maid,
49:12Evelyn reported to the police.
49:16You say that again?
49:18Evelyn accused the young master of
49:21raping her.
49:22The young master has been arrested.
49:24My lady!
49:25My lady!
49:26Someone come quickly!
49:27Call a doctor!
49:30The doctor has been.
49:31He said you're fine.
49:32Just suffered a shock.
49:33A lawyer.
49:35Get me a lawyer.
49:36The best one.
49:36Right now.
49:37Indeed, we need a lawyer.
49:39Aside from cleaning up your son's mess,
49:41I am divorcing you.
49:42What did you say?
49:43At a time like this,
49:44how can you say such a thing?
49:47Yes, I've had enough of you, Jane.
49:49Had enough.
49:49Aren't you afraid I won't leave you a single penny?
49:53Do as you please.
49:59Sebastian!
50:02Mr. Hastings,
50:03I am the lawyer hired by your mother.
50:05I need to know what happened so I can defend you.
50:08Mr. Hastings,
50:10can you tell me what happened that night?
50:12Sebastian, speak.
50:14Tell the lawyer you're innocent.
50:15You've been framed.
50:16Please say something.
50:19Please take me back.
50:26Well, well.
50:27You sent my son to prison,
50:29yet you're in the mood to sit here and read?
50:30What a pity.
50:31The one who belongs in prison is you.
50:35In the orphanage,
50:36you have to fight for your food.
50:38An old hag like you wants to hit me?
50:43Look at yourself,
50:45the noble countess.
50:47My son is innocent.
50:48He never hurt you.
50:50He loves you so much.
50:51Can you please let him go?
50:52Your son is innocent?
50:53Then what about my sister?
50:55What about my mother?
50:57Speak!
50:58Who did they ever hurt?
50:59Which one of them wasn't innocent?
51:01I was wrong.
51:02I only did it
51:03to give my son a better life.
51:05Seeing how wonderful he is now,
51:07can you please...
51:07No.
51:09What on earth will it take
51:10for you to let him go?
51:12Drop dead.
51:13As long as you are dead,
51:14I'll let him go.
51:21You filthy little whore.
51:23One day you will go to hell
51:24just like your parents.
51:29My lady,
51:30I am a lawyer
51:30from Sir Thompson's firm.
51:32I have been commissioned
51:33by Earl Hastings
51:34to discuss the divorce proceedings
51:36with you.
51:37Divorce?
51:42Please, take a seat.
51:43She needs some time
51:44to process this.
51:47Must you discuss this
51:49with me right now?
51:51Rationally speaking,
51:52now is the most appropriate time.
51:53I can't have Sebastian
51:53going to prison
51:54carrying the Hastings name,
51:55can I?
52:01Now you see why
52:02I must have a divorce?
52:03Seb is innocent.
52:04That little siren
52:05framed him.
52:06You are his stepfather.
52:07Do you not know him at all?
52:08To be frank,
52:08the only good thing
52:09you've ever done in your life
52:10was giving birth to
52:11and raising this son.
52:12But to be even frankly,
52:14you do not deserve
52:15a good son,
52:15status, reputation,
52:16or any of those noble things.
52:26Your Honor,
52:26the victim in this case,
52:27Miss Evelyn grew up
52:28in an orphanage
52:29with no parents
52:29and no one to rely on.
52:30She came to England
52:31through her own hard work
52:32to become a maid,
52:33wanting nothing more
52:34than to live an ordinary life.
52:35However,
52:35the defendant,
52:36Sebastian Hastings,
52:37used his status and power
52:38to commit an atrocious assault
52:39against this helpless woman.
52:40On the night of the incident,
52:42Miss Evelyn had just celebrated
52:43her birthday.
52:44She regarded the defendant
52:45as a friend,
52:46perhaps even more,
52:46and the defendant exploited
52:48that trust,
52:49the trust of a friend.
52:50What did you see
52:51near the crime scene that night?
52:53I came out of the pub
52:55and heard someone
52:56calling for help.
52:57Then I saw a young woman,
52:58that lady over there,
52:59running toward me barefoot,
53:00trembling all over,
53:01crying so hard
53:02she couldn't speak.
53:03When you saw her,
53:03what did she say?
53:04She pointed at a car
53:06parked on the roadside
53:07saying the man inside
53:07raped her.
53:09And did you see
53:09the defendant at that time?
53:10Yes, I did.
53:11He was sitting inside
53:11that luxury car.
53:12What was he doing at the time?
53:14He was smoking.
53:15He looked quite relaxed.
53:16Didn't offer any explanation?
53:17No, he just sat there,
53:18smoking.
53:20Mr. Hastings,
53:21do you have anything to say?
53:24No.
53:25Speak up!
53:26Tell them you didn't!
53:32Defendant,
53:33this court will give you
53:34one more chance.
53:35If you remain silent,
53:37this court will rule
53:38that you have pleated
53:39guilty by default.
53:41your honor,
53:44may I say something?
53:46If it has nothing to do
53:47with this case,
53:48then please don't.
53:49It is about
53:50the defendant.
53:53Please speak.
53:55Master Hastings,
53:57that is,
53:58the defendant,
53:59he would never commit rape.
54:01Never.
54:02Master Hastings
54:03is a decent gentleman.
54:06He never even let us
54:07maids enter his bedroom.
54:09He also
54:11saved me.
54:12He saved me
54:13and Evelyn.
54:18Your honor,
54:19I also have something to say
54:20about the defendant
54:22and the victim.
54:24What testimony
54:25do you have to offer?
54:27Just like that young lady,
54:28I absolutely do not believe
54:29the defendant
54:30would commit rape.
54:31Do you have any evidence?
54:34It goes like this.
54:36Last year,
54:36around October,
54:38this Miss Evelyn
54:38came to my pub
54:39to seek shelter
54:40from the rain.
54:41At the time,
54:41there were two notorious
54:42scroundrels in my pub.
54:43Seeing how beautiful
54:44this lady was,
54:45they secretly drugged
54:46her drink.
54:47Just as the scoundrels
54:48were about to take her away,
54:48Mr. Hastings
54:49scared them off with a gun.
54:50I asked him afterwards,
54:51aren't you afraid
54:52of going to prison
54:52for hurting someone?
54:53I remember him saying,
54:54he said,
54:55ruining a rapist
54:56is worth going to prison for.
54:57Look at me, Seb.
54:58If you just look at me now,
54:59I will give up
55:00all my revenge
55:01look at me.
55:02And there is one more thing.
55:05Later,
55:05he helped the young lady
55:06out of the pub.
55:07Go on, sir.
55:08When I went out
55:08to throw away the trash,
55:10I saw the lady,
55:11I saw the lady
55:12throwing herself at him.
55:14But he pushed her away
55:15right then.
55:17Your Honor,
55:18my son is innocent.
55:19It's all that woman's fault.
55:21She framed my son.
55:22You should arrest her.
55:23Order.
55:24Send her to prison.
55:25Order.
55:27Your Honor,
55:28I plead guilty.
55:29No!
55:31No.
55:32Defendant,
55:33what did you say?
55:34I plead guilty.
55:35I raped Evelyn.
55:37It is absolutely true.
55:47Since the defendant
55:48has voluntarily pleaded guilty,
55:50this court will recess
55:51immediately for final deliberations.
55:53Why?
55:54Why on earth
55:55did you plead guilty?
55:57A son pays his mother's debts.
55:59You know everything?
56:01From now on,
56:02you don't have a son.
56:05Upon deliberation
56:06between this court
56:07and the jury,
56:08the defendant is hereby
56:09sensed to three years
56:10in prison.
56:19My lady,
56:20you don't have to sign it now.
56:21You can take your time
56:22to consider.
56:30I have no son anymore.
56:32What's the use of a son?
56:34Useless.
56:37Everything is gone.
56:39Everything has been taken away.
56:41That's fine.
56:42Peace and quiet.
56:43I am the countess.
56:45Even though I have nothing left,
56:46I am still the countess.
57:11Is it very busy today?
57:12You all look so exhausted.
57:14Yes.
57:15Many wounded soldiers
57:16have been sent
57:17from the front line.
57:23Miss Evelyn.
57:25Jack.
57:26What are you doing here?
57:27I came to visit
57:28some old comrades.
57:29I heard they were sent here.
57:30Oh, by the way,
57:31Captain Sebastian
57:31went to the front line
57:32this time too.
57:33Do you have any news of him?
57:34You haven't heard?
57:35I thought you two
57:36were quite close.
57:37Has he gone to war?
57:39Is he doing okay?
57:41Don't worry.
57:42Captain Sebastian
57:43fights very bravely.
57:44He'll definitely
57:45return in triumph.
57:46Fights bravely.
57:47You really didn't
57:48have to comfort me.
57:51Excuse me,
57:51is this Lord Hastings?
57:53Speaking.
57:53May I ask
57:54who is calling?
57:56Good afternoon,
57:57Lord Hastings.
57:57It's Evelyn.
57:58Good afternoon.
57:59To what do I owe
58:00the pleasure
58:00of your call, miss?
58:01Do you know
58:03how Seb is doing lately?
58:05Oh,
58:05you want to know
58:06how Sebastian is doing?
58:08His sentence
58:08was cut short
58:09and he has been
58:10recalled to the front line.
58:14He is the Lord.
58:17If you would like
58:18to pray,
58:18you are welcome
58:19to join us inside.
58:21I've never believed
58:22in God.
58:22Can I still pray?
58:24Anyone can pray to God.
58:29I would trade
58:30all the remaining
58:31wishes of my life
58:32just for his safe return.
58:33to the front line.
